Chapter 10 Conversations with Mum
~ At the same time as Chapter 9 ~
"Ron, how much do you know about 'Mione's pregnancy?" asked Harry. "Not much, just.well, I really don't know anything about it." "I was thinking about talking to Professor Dumbledore about it. When I walked into the bathroom yesterday, I found Ginny throwing up and she was mumbling something about 'morning sickness'. I just don't know what to expect, and I kinda want to be prepared-you know, be able to help her out," said Harry with a voice containing concern. Ron got up and pulled Harry towards the portrait hole. "Come on Harry, let's go find Dumbledore." They walked through the school and were standing in front of the stone gargoyle that led to the entrance to his office.
"What do you think the password is?" asked Ron. Harry replied, "I don't know, it usually some kind of sweet." "Ton-Tongue Toffees," a voice behind them replied. Harry turned his head and saw Professor Dumbledore coming down the hallway. "Hello Professor. We wanted to talk to you about Ginny and Hermione," said Harry. As the stone gargoyle opened and revealed a set of spiral stairs. Professor Dumbledore headed up the stairs with Harry and Ron following him.
"Sit down." He pointed to a pair of chairs in front of a fire. "I have expected this in a few weeks, can I ask what made you come to see me now?" "Well Professor, I saw Ginny in the bathroom last night, and she said something about morning sickness. Neither Ron or I know what that is, or even know what's going to happen," Harry said. Dumbledore looked at the two of them and replied, "I can answer most of your questions, but I think we can get more helpful input if we were to ask someone who has been pregnant before. I was thinking of your mother, Ron. Shall I floo her and have her join us?" Dumbledore got up and tossed a handful of floo powder into a fireplace. "The Burrow," he said. There appeared Molly Weasley's head. "Yes, Professor. How can I help you?" she asked. "Well Molly, actually Ron and Harry would like someone to talk to about what's happening with Hermione and Ginny. I was thinking that you could join us," Dumbledore replied. A moment later, Molly Weasley walked through the fireplace, dusting off ashes.
Mrs. Weasley walked over to a couch and sat down next to Dumbledore. She looked at them and started talking. "It's so good to see you both. You know that no matter what, you always can talk to me about anything." "Mum, what I really want to know what's going to happen to 'Mione and the baby. What's she going through? I know Harry feels the same way about Ginny." "Honestly boys, some of what your girlfriends are going through I do not know about because they are very young, so pregnancy is going to be harder for them. I can only tell you what I went through, and I hope it helps you out. How far along are they, do you know?" "A little over 2 months I think," replied Harry. Mrs. Weasley continued on, "well, they're going to have morning sickness for a while then. That is going to last for maybe another two months. The only thing that you can do for them is to be supportive. Not just now, but throughout their entire pregnancies." "Molly," Harry piped in, "is it weird that Ginny was sick right before she went to bed?" "No Harry. It's just called that because many women get sick in the morning. Everyone is different. Ok, in the second trimester, you are going to be running to the kitchen a lot if either of them was anything like me. They might have unusual cravings and they might not all be reasonable. Also, if they haven't already, their bodies are going to start changing as the babies grow inside of them. I did not discover until I was pregnant with Fred and George how much I wanted your father with me during my pre-natal check-ups. If their doctor will allow it, I strongly recommend going. Do either of you have any questions right now?" "No mum, no Molly," both responded. "Well, I am going to go, it is quite late." Mrs. Weasley walked into the fireplace and left Hogwarts.
Dumbledore stood up from the couch he was sitting on. "Boys, I think you should head back to Gryffindor Tower. It is very late and there are classes tomorrow." Ron and Harry got up and walked out of his office.
